Those Recaro Slimline seats?

Sat in one of the remodeled WN planes MKE-MCO on Sunday, and they're quite uncomfortable. As if I needed more reasons to abandon WN, I think this about does it. Who isn't using these yet? I know UA has started to use them on the 319's, but not sure about AA, DL or US.

I recently sat on a WN LAX - DEN - IAD on a b738/b737. The b738 had the new seats and I didn't really notice that much of a difference. Just space between seats, but then again I usually fly AA and get MCE so I had no real complaints.

I found them to be similar in comfort to that of the FL 717's I've flown in the past. As in, not very. The "comfort package" would be welcomed. MKE-MCO was about 2.5 hrs, and I shifted a number of times. I didn't even have a problem flying 2 hrs in a seat on the ZK EMB-120 from DEN-ISN, and I expected that seat to be all kinds of awful.

We just flew in from London to Oslo on SAS equipped with Recaro seats. At first, I noticed the thinner seat cushion and didn't look inviting. After seating on it for several minutes I didn't noticed the difference, maybe because the flight only took a little over two hours.

The first time I remember ever seeing the Recaro brand was aboard a tour bus in the U.K. I boarded back in the late 1990's.

My son sits in a Recaro ProSport seat every time he gets in the car. They are pioneers in child safety and seat safety in general. I can't speak to the comfort of the airplane seat though, I suspect the airline bid list had comfort as a low priority.

Recardo Race seats are awesome. They're like baby seats but for adults.
